Hello guys, I’m trying to add yugabytedb repo to my kubernetes cluster running on redhat v7. I was follwoing the installation instructions give here: [Install YugabyteDB on Kubernetes | YugabyteDB Docs](https://docs.yugabyte.com/latest/quick-start/install/kubernetes/#add-charts-repository)
when I followed the instructions, I get the follwoing error:
```auto
helm repo add yugabytedb https://charts.yugabyte.com/yugabytedb
Error: looks like "https://charts.yugabyte.com/yugabytedb" is not a valid chart repository or cannot be reached: Get https://charts.yugabyte.com/yugabytedb/index.yaml: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority
```
I can tell you that helm repo works fine as I tested with this:
helm repo add bitnami [https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami](https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami)
“bitnami” has been added to your repositories
help please.

I haven’t seen this error before. @johnc : what is the output of `helm version`?

Can you check the URL again?
helm repo add yugabytedb **[https://charts.yugabyte.com](https://charts.yugabyte.com)**
(Remove /yugabytedb suffix from the URL)
